i know this is old news but its not because the genocide of palestinians is old news and current news. today, april 2025, israel ordered the evacuation of the partially-functioning al ahli baptist hospital and bombed it, the same hospital that it bombed in october 2023 and killed nearly 500 people and then denied it, smeared everyone who would "dare to accuse israel of bombing a hospital," released false voice notes with fake actors pretending it was hamas operatives who accidentally bombed it so that news outlets could no longer report on israel bombing hospitals without having to add "hamas-run health ministry says..." to provide doubt on accounts of palestinian suffering, and then eventually just bombed every single hospital in gaza anyway

right now they're still bombing the hospital, but they did order the evacuation first. the thing about ordering a hospital to be evacuated before bombing it is that it proves you are destroying hospitals for the sake of destroying hospitals. the other thing about ordering a hospital to be evacuated is that it still kills all the critical patients and all the patients who need it anyway in an area where a hundred people are being killed daily. already a child has reportedly died while being evacuated.

that's kind of the point of targeting hospitals. its the point of targeting so many and so frequently that you can keep palestinians suspended in a state of genocide, while everyone else who reads about is suspended in a state of helplessness and confusion. they bombed a hospital? didn't they already bomb that hospital? was it really them who bombed it? i didn't know those people were still alive and those hospitals were still functioning. patients died wheeled out in a hospital bed while the ER was lit on fire? ah, didn't that already happen before?

So, in Brazilian, USAmerican, and LGBT+ politics news, transgender Brazilian congresswoman Erika Hilton has received from the USA a visa marking her gender as male.

Hilton canceled a trip she was going to make to the US this month, where she was going to participate on Saturday (12) in a panel at the Brazil Conference, and says she will take action against US President Donald Trump at the UN (United Nations) because she considers the case to be transphobic and disrespectful of her Brazilian civil records.

UPDATE: fellow transgender Brazilian congresswoman Duda Salabert has been informed her visa will also register her as male.

"More than transphobia, there is a question of national sovereignty involved: it is not up to the US government to disagree with and refute Brazil's documents," she said.

Has anyone else noticed that they do this?

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Context.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

okay y'all pls chime in

I have an online vegan speed dating event happening in less than 24 hours. It only gave male, female, and nonbinary as gender options. I put myself as male, and for potential partners, I originally had all 3 options selected.

However, I moved it down to men and nonbinary people because I wanted to avoid matching with a cishet woman who is looking for a straight man, not a bisexual trans gnc queer guy.

My question is:

I'd have no problem telling nonbinary matches my situation, but if I match with a cis mani have to have that conversation with him eventually if we continue to talk after the event -_-

everyone voted for nonbinary only, and it said I have TWO matches and that's it. KMS I added men as an option and hopefully it'll give me more people. Christ.

Alright I unfortunately added men to the pool and now I'm at 100% of matches available hell yeah 💪 hopefully I still have the nonbinary matches in there!!!
